RULE #1 when dealing with any Trump project is to demand payment from him and any subcontractors in full before you begin any work including plans and shop drawings. They will only pay deposits and leave you hanging for the balance.

Satellites & people agree when forests fall, #Deforestation. Not when they fade, #Degradation.

🌳 Deforestation shows in pixels. Degradation endures in memory.
Local eyes see what sensors miss. This matters for governance.

Scott makes a case against an imperial or hegemonic planning mentality that excludes the necessary role of #LocalKnowledge and know-how, and for the resilience of both social and natural #diversity and about the #limits, in principle, of what we are likely to know about complex, functioning order.

3️⃣ Do their memories match scientific data?

Yes! Especially for sardines. This shows how local knowledge can fill historical data gaps 💡

But Prof. Pinna’s message went beyond raising awareness. He warmly invited the local community, especially fishermen, to become active partners in the PRO-Coast initiative. This project champions the protection and enhancement of coastal biodiversity through research, while also valuing the invaluable knowledge and experience of those who have lived by the sea for generations

🌊 Celebrating the rich maritime heritage of Salento, PRO-Coast — led by our Italian partner, Prof. Maurizio Pinna of the Università del Salento — delivered an inspiring talk on the beauty and vulnerability of our coastal ecosystems. He emphasized the importance of sustainable management to preserve these vital environments for future generations.
🔍 .
🤝 Stakeholder engagement isn’t just a strategy — it’s essential. Events like this create rare opportunities to bridge scientific insight with local wisdom, fostering a shared sense of responsibility for the future of our coasts.
Let’s work together to protect biodiversity by honoring culture, knowledge, and community!!!
